Macarons & Mirrored Reflections

So it's been a long time since I've wrote a blog post, due to my lack of creativity and being busy with every day things. Sometimes I feel like plans just take over and there's never enough time to do everything on my to-do list. But last week I was down in London for a few days just exploring and visiting places that I've never been before. I've always loved the night-time atmosphere of London and how it's so lively and energetic, but I've never actually viewed it from the top. I also really wanted to visit the Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the Victoria Miro, after seeing continuous Instagram posts on my feed I was determined to do that first thing even with the half an hour queue in the heat.

So I thought I'd write up a post about what we did, the new restaurants we tried (even if we were a little late to the party) and the things that we saw. As this was a midweek trip, it was a lot quieter than usual, which was actually better as I sometimes get a bit overwhelmed when there's too many people around me. On the day that we got there we had a quick bite to eat and then made our way to the Victoria Miro museum which was so packed but definitely worth it! I was quite surprised that they only allowed each pair in for minute in each of the rooms, which I don't think is enough time to take everything in as I could have literally locked myself in those boxes for the whole day! The exhibition is still on for a little while so if you're a fan of her work it is definitely worth going. To be honest the rooms seem a lot bigger in photographs because of all the mirrors, so I was pretty surprised at the size of them, but at the same time the photographs don't do them justice as everything was just SO SO beautiful.

We then went to Dishoom in the evening for dinner where you get THE most tastiest Indian food EVER! Along with a little stroll through the markets in Covent Garden as strangely every time I've visited Covent Garden the markets have always been closed. The next day we decided to go to Laduree for breakfast and I chose the fried eggs with tomatoes and crispy bread. I've only ever tried macarons and a few cakes as every time I go I just can't resist the temptation of the pretty desserts on display, but the breakfast was really yummy and I'll definitely be going back there.

After that it was the usual trip Harrods and shopping on Oxford Street, which always includes a visit to Lush and Topshop! The evening was spent getting dressed up and going to Sketch for dinner, which I will write up a separate post about later on. I'd love to know if any of you guys have favourite spots in London or if you know of any good restaurants etc, drop a comment below and let me know. I hope you enjoyed reading this post, xo
